Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

He found that this girl was much bolder than other girls and was not even afraid of him.

"Little girl, don't try to play tricks. This is a tonic."

"If you put it in Ling'er's mouth, she will vomit. When I vomit, everything will come out, so it's the same as not eating it..."

Ling'er explained in a crying voice and insisted on eating by herself.

The red-clothed masked man thought this made sense, so he decided not to spit it out before swallowing it, as this was the last pair of Tongsheng Gu he had left.

"Okay, eat it yourself."

The masked man actually put the white and moving thumb-sized insect into Ling'er's hand. He didn't think that a little girl could play any tricks.

Ling'er watched the little bug moving on her palm with trembling eyes. She was so scared that she closed her eyes, covered her mouth with her palm, and then fell to the ground.

"Ling'er, Ling'er..." An An hurriedly pushed Ling'er who had fallen to the ground.

The masked man was also startled, but Ling'er got up again and even said in a trembling voice: "I... I, I ate bugs..."

When the masked man saw that the bug was indeed gone, he was sure that she had eaten it.

"Little girl, you are deeply loved by me. You should follow me from now on!" The masked man smiled with satisfaction and picked up Ling'er.

"Bad guy, put my sister down. Don't catch my sister. If you want to catch someone, catch me." An An cried and pulled the sleeve of the masked man, refusing him to take her sister away.

"Hmph!" The masked man flicked his sleeves, and little An An fell to the ground. The snakes around him stood up and spit out their tongues at An An.

"Little guy, I advise you not to move, otherwise, I will strangle your sister to death."

An An was indeed threatened, and the red-clothed masked man carried Xiao Ling'er out of the room, and saw that the surroundings were brightly lit, with many more guards and secret guards, and many archers in the dark.

"Mu Qingran, let my daughter go!"

When Lu Zhanxing saw a masked man in red carrying his daughter, he immediately shouted at him.

Although she was not sure whether it was Mu Qingran, it did not stop her from speaking first.

"Hmm? Do you know me?"

Mu Qingran took off his mask, revealing his extremely handsome but slightly pale face. There was an evil smile on the corner of his lips. He was dressed in a dazzling red robe, which was three parts gorgeous and seven parts evil. He looked morbidly handsome.

If Lu Zhanxing were to describe her, she would be a sickly beauty.

Lu Zhanyan frowned. He could tell at first glance that Mu Qingran was a difficult person and couldn't help but feel worried for his little niece.

"Mu Qingran, release Ling'er and I will let you go."

This Mu Qingran actually hid in this cold palace with her children. After he ascended the throne, he moved all the women who were banished to the cold palace out and concentrated them in one palace, letting the imperial doctors treat them. The elderly ones were allowed to enjoy their old age, and the young ones who could be cured were arranged to leave.

So, this cold palace became abandoned.

At the same time, he was also shocked by the powerful capabilities of Skynet, which managed to find the mastermind so quickly.

“Hahaha…” Mu Qingran laughed wildly, the corners of his lips raised wickedly: “Can you stop me?”

"What do you want? Don't hurt two innocent children."

"Innocent? Yes, you also know that the child is innocent." Mu Qingran stared at Lu Zhanyan like a venomous snake: "Then why can't you let our Mu family go? Aren't we innocent?"

If Lu Zhanyan had not sent troops to attack Qi, how could his own people have been disintegrated by the people of Qi, with only one in ten surviving?

"How can you be innocent? If you had led your people to live peacefully, how could we know about the existence of the Mu family? It's you who are greedy and want to rule the world and use poison to control others. You brought all this upon yourself."

Lu Zhanyan stared at Mu Qingran coldly, trying every means to attract Mu Qingran's attention.

His secret guards went in quietly to the back, ready to rescue the prince first.

"You asked for it? Hahaha, well said." The dim firelight illuminated his sinister and cruel eyes, which were full of evil. "You are all hypocritical. You are afraid of poison but want to learn the art of poison. You are really hypocritical. Well, why did I say so much to you?"

Suddenly, a group of secret guards appeared holding the unconscious little prince, and Lu Zhanyan had no time to breathe a sigh of relief.

But Mu Qingran raised a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth: "That boy and this girl were poisoned by me. If the little girl dies, he will die too. You don't want anything to happen to them, do you?"

"Mu Qingran!!!"

Lu Zhanyan's usually cold eyes suddenly became chilly, and his tone was even more icy.

Lu Zhanxing was also furious: "What do you want to do?"

"What to do?" Mu Qingran was not afraid of being surrounded at all, and even had the mind to play with the little red snake in his hand.

The red snake was being caressed obediently in his hands, which was creepy to watch.

"I will give you one month to hand over the entire Qi Kingdom to me. If you fail to do so, I will..." Mu Qingran said ruthlessly, "Everyone in the world will be buried with me!!"

After saying that, he picked up Ling'er and prepared to fly away.

When everyone was staring at the red figure, Lu Zhanxing flashed and appeared in front of Mu Qingran. He was about to reach out to take Ling'er away, but Mu Qingran was prepared. The red snake in his hand shot out. Lu Zhanxing could only dodge. When he dodged, Mu Qingran had already flown to the roof with Ling'er.

"It's a month. If you break your promise, everyone in the world will be buried with you!"

A man in red flew away carrying the petite Ling'er, but the arrogant voice still came.

"Father..."

"Ling'er!!!"

Lu Zhanxing fell to the ground and could only watch his daughter being taken away.

"Chase, rescue the princess, don't let her get hurt," Lu Zhanyan waved his hand and asked the secret guards to follow.

Although the prince was rescued, he was poisoned by a Gu, so there might be trouble.

"Xingdi, don't worry, we will definitely rescue Ling'er. Now Ling'er and An'an have both been infected with the Tongsheng Gu. As long as An'an is fine, Ling'er will be fine too." Lu Zhanyan comforted.

Lu Zhanxing stared blankly at the direction where Ling'er disappeared, gritting his teeth and saying, "Mu Qingran, I, Lu Zhanxing, will tear you into pieces."

That was the child she had been carrying for ten months!

How could she let others take away her only bond in this world?

The prince was rescued and the mastermind behind the crime was found, but Princess Showa was taken away.

Queen Chu held An An, who had been lost and found again, and immediately asked the imperial physician to treat her.

Lu Zhanyan and others went to the imperial study to discuss countermeasures.

"Mu Qingran wants the entire Qi State and has even set a deadline of one month. I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish."

Although their Daqian soldiers had been unstoppable and had captured more than a dozen cities before, it would be impossible for them to completely dominate the State of Qi without several months.

The State of Qi will not allow itself to be bullied and will always fight to the death. By then, both sides will suffer heavy losses. Maybe Mu Qingran just wants to reap the benefits. How can he let him do as he wishes?

As for the oath that everyone in the world would be buried with him, he did not think it was a lie. After all, this person knew how to use poison, and ordinary people could not avoid it.

But Ling'er is in his hands. If she doesn't follow his request, I'm afraid...
